Thanks for the tips Dave the guard was the first thing to go on the first day I used it I was thinking of making a plate to fit over the table with a small hole in it and fix it on the table with double sided tape or I have some 6mm ally that I use to make inserts for my band saw we will see as...

Another x cut pen in Masur birch and a x cut bamboo enjoy

Its all trial and error really some woods will turn with ease some will fight you all the way the only tip I can give is very sharp tools and fine cuts all the way if you go heavy then chances are bits will break of right down to the tube normally on the end which isn't as bad as it seems on x...

I now use the pro edge after 50 years of using grinders freehand and I must admit the pro edge is by far the easiest system I have ever used I wish I had done it years ago I sharpen everything on it from chisels to pen knife
